You quote the EP. Big deal.
You sprang Athena like from the head of Zeus with the old saw of (paraphrasing) "Lincoln freed the slaves where he had no authority and left them alone where he did."
There are two alternatives for posting this: ignorance or malevolence. Which applies to you?

If you had anything of value to say, you would stop calling names.

Could someone tell me if it is true that the Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in areas that the U.S. government did NOT control? That slaves in other areas such as Maryland were freed later when the 14th Amendment was passed?
Yes.
